Petropolis: Today, Saturday 9th April, on the clay court built on the grounds of the São Jose Cycling Club, the first test XCO World Cup This was done after the changes requested by the UCI because in some places it was considered too dangerous as there were double jumps.
To open the dance at 16 local time, 19:00 in Italy, think 54 young people under 23, not many, reason is cheap. Many second-tier European teams could not afford the trip to South America. Only three Italians are competing, Simone Avondetto of Wilier Pirelli, Andreas Vittone of KTM Protek Elettrosystem and Andrea Colombo of Trinx Factory.

On the starting lap, he, along with Swiss Schätti and Brazilian De Oliveira, immediately managed to give the race an insane pace. Shortly thereafter, the two other teammates raised the white flag, and the Chilean’s pace risked making them jump, considering that after two laps, Fedori had already had a 45-second advantage over the chasing group.

Inside was a Wilier-Pirelli shirt, which was worn by Swiss Janis Baumann. Vittone was ten to the minute. Avondetto who had a good start and then had problems, wasn’t feeling well.
At the end of the third lap behind Fedori, only Baumann remained who shortened the lead over South America, bringing him up to 23sec. Vuitton, who rode in a group of six boys, climbed to sixth. Afondeto crossed the goal line after more than two minutes and was inside the top 20.

When the defining moment of the race was coming up, at the start of the fifth and final lap, Fedori was always up front with Bowman behind to put pressure on him but half a minute away, so it was Ukraine’s Hodyma who was just half a minute away. In the viewfinder of Vittone who just plugged Schätti. The others behind them were very close, and a fiery conclusion to the search for the third step of the platform was announced.
